Thanks for the info Streets.

Unfortunately…or maybe it’s a good thing, I was booted from EPN, for reasons not known. With the layoffs and everything else going on I would expect them to start bringing the axe down again to keep the higher paid affiliates out.

I noticed there has been no update on this in a few months.

ePN has NOT fixed their tracking issues. They have had reporting delays and each month there has been at least one “adjustment” to the affiliates’ commission. They are still counting clicks from bots and search engine spiders which lowers EPC and they are using those artificially low EPC numbers to expire accounts and lower ACRU payouts.

Steve Hartman has ZERO experience in the affiliate marketing world and should stick to placing Yahoo ads in auction pages, which seems to be his forte.

That some interesting insight into their backend and I would figure a new network would have some people running around like a chicken with their head cut off. Hopefully it’ll smooth over and slow down in the next few months, once all the bugs are worked out.

I still think they cut CJ loose too quickly though.

Now let’s see if they can fix their email problem. Old account users with eBay have had many problems changing email data to show current information. I have yet to have a problem with this, but I know of a few. Living in San Jose I have met a few eBay employees, and the back end/network of that company is kind of a mess. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
